Wanting to possibly go from a radiologic tech to a radiation therapy?

im wanting to get my associates as a radiologic tech and then go later and either do sonography or radiation therapy is it possible to do it this way or do i have to do the full four years all at once

I just looked into radiation therapy myself. I am a registered radiologic technologist, working online to get my bachelors degree, which I will have in August. The 3 or 4 radiation therapy schools I checked with said that although a couple of my past classes might help, I basically have to start from scratch. If radiation therapy is what you really want to do, I suggest going straight into that program. As for sonography, it seems like most schools want you to be a rad tech first.
